Hi all, The grass mat at Hog Hole is getting very nice, especially if you don't have a scope. There were a handful of Least Sandpipers, one Semi-palmated Sandpiper, five Spotted Sandpipers, one Killdeer and lots of Song Sparrows acting like shorebirds, around Noon today. This area is worth checking often. I have a feeling something more unusual will show up eventually. It would be fun to see a Baird's Sandpiper in binocular view.
